COVID-19 for Youth: Beating Boredom
Social distancing won’t keep us from supporting the next generation of men. We’re offering Next Gen Men as an online program experience for boys in grade 7/8.

School cancellation might seem like a dream come true for kids, but from what we’re hearing, it’s not actually as great as it seems. A lot of young people have more boredom than they know what to do with, plus the added challenges of isolation from friends and anxiety about the global crisis.
With their wellbeing in mind, we started writing a series of survival guides for youth in the midst of COVID-19—the first of which tackles boredom. They’re meant to strike a balance between funny and heartfelt, and provide a useful resource in a difficult time.
